Looks exciting with this alternative to Wi-Fi. On the other hand, it looks not so exciting that using it requires being it touch with an (assumed centrally controlled) database of available frequencies. > If this could somehow be incorporated in the Novena freedom box that > Bdale is trying to whip up… As I understand it, a radio device complicates international shipping: The device needs to be documented that it comply with radio regulations in the target country. From a brief reading I saw mentioned (although maybe outdated) that only in the US is the allocated frequencies for White Space approved for ad-hoc use. In some parts of the World those frequencies may still require a TV broadcast license to use, which would render a Novena board illegal to import into those countries if a White Space radio was soldered onto it or even just attached as part of a bundle package. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
